Linear pair of angles:
If Non common arms of two adjacent angles form a line, then these angles are called linear pair of angles.


Axiom- 1
If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180°i.e, the sum of the linear pair is 180°.

Axiom-2
If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180° then the two non common arms of the angles form a line.

The two axioms given above together are called the linear pair axioms.

____________________________________

Use the Inequality that the side opposite to the larger angle is longer, to show the inequality.

Given: ∆ABC is a Triangle &
∠PBC < ∠QCB

To Prove:
AC>AB


Proof:

∠ABC + ∠PBC = 180° ( by linear pair axiom)
⇒ ∠ABC = 180° – ∠PBC

also,
∠ACB + ∠QCB = 180° (by Linear Pair axiom)
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – ∠QCB

Since,
∠PBC < ∠QCB therefore, ∠ABC > ∠ACB

Here, the side opposite to the larger angle is longer.

Hence, AC > AB

also,

∠ACB + ∠QCB = 180° (by Linear Pair axiom)

⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – ∠QCB

Since,

∠PBC < ∠QCB therefore, ∠ABC > ∠ACB

Here, the side opposite to the larger angle is longer.

Hence, AC > AB
